Info

The musical impulse. The search. Matt and Jeff meet moons ago. Friendship, whiskey, and open mics ensue. Time goes by. Impulse continues. Matt and Matt meet @ end of 2004. Strong drums...part Bonham..part Mason. Immediate connection. Bassman C comes in. Songs are written. It begins. Bassman C heads off to the great apple. Brief despair. Enter Mo. "King Biscuit" thump-master extraordinaire. Low-end search is complete. Fate steps in, and Jeff comes by to see what all the noise is about. Lays in his voice. The jams begin. The music flows. The circle completes. Formerly known as 'wookie monster', Optimo hails from the wonderful lands of greater-Somerville, MA + a bit of Brooklyn, NY. We just finished our demo cd and are ready to play pretty music for you in person. We are also actively looking to book gigs in/around Boston and New York City. Any bands or booking-types looking to share a gig or fill a bill can please contact us at Optimoband@gmail.com

    Here's your arbitrary Sunday vote to commemorate the arbitrary extension of the qualifying round!(ok it wasn't arbitrary it was a typo)
    Love, The band who arbitrarily loves you the most! (more than your daddy) Since we have a few extra days, look for someone above 500 rank that you think should make it to the head-to-head. We've seen acts move hundreds of ranks in just a couple of days! Send some love and you will get it back!
